Friends or foes?

Living together is a double edged sword - it has its own advantages and disadvantages. My roomies and I had been enjoying the advantages all this while; but a few days back we got the taste of some disadvantages as well :)
Some wise man once said - "Familiarity breeds contempt"!!! How true he was!!! (Wonder how these old sages got their wisdom, by just sitting and meditating in mountains)
Well, back to the point - people at our home had all become seething volcanoes; hiding tons of "baggage" under their skins, ready to explode. One just had to provide the initial trigger, which was promptly provided by one roomie of mine when he talked to one of our friends a little too cutely :/. The result? An avalanche of feelings and emotions which peaked till the wee hours of morning, greatly depriving each one of us of our much beloved and precious sleep. (I am still not over the deficit; am yawning while penning this down - Allah knows when I will be able to bridge the gap that has been created. This Saturday perhaps; I am really going to hit the bed (no puns intended - just for sleeping, naughty!!!!)).
It's good that finally things were settled and seething dissatisfactions pacified for the while, after much banging, stomping and shouting. Wonder what our neighbours must be thinking - World War 3 has finally begun perhaps?
And in all this - I missed my all important guitar practice :(. I don't know how much time the net is going to take to crack a tough nut like me and turn him into a guitarist - but it sure is going to be a very long time.......
